A federal magistrate judge on Tuesday rescinded the Trump administration's ability to examine data seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson last month, saying he would "conduct an independent judicial review" of the materials obtained by the Justice Department through a search warrant. Porter wrote that he "further hopes the record ultimately bears out the government’s representations." Porter had approved the search warrant in connection with an investigation into Navy veteran Aurelio Perez-Lugones, who was charged last month with unlawful retention of national defense information. Porter wrote that he was "unaware" of that law when he conducted a limited probable cause review, and he accepted responsibility for the "gap" in his analysis. Still, Porter wrote Tuesday, he could not "simply order the government to return all devices" and allow the Post to unilaterally identify material responsive to the search warrant.

Who are Republicans bringing? Notably, the U.S. women’s squad, which also won gold, will not attend after Trump was caught complaining about having to invite them during his congratulatory call with the men’s squad. “And we have to — I must tell you — we’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” said Trump.

Lowe’s reported higher fourth-quarter sales as continued growth in its business supplying professional builders helped it to offset weakness in the home improvement market. - Getty ImagesLowe’s is expecting a flat home-improvement market in 2026 as stalled housing sales, high interest rates and economic uncertainty continue to lead homeowners to delay remodeling and repair projects. On Tuesday, Home Depot said it was seeing pressure from economic uncertainty and a frozen housing market. For the fourth quarter, Lowe’s reported sales of $20.58 billion, up from $18.55 billion the year prior. Comparable sales rose 1.3%, which the company said was “driven by continued growth in Pro, online, and home-services sales, as well as strong holiday performance.” Analysts had expected comparable sales growth of 0.2%.

President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address drew largely positive marks from a heavily Republican audience, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Nearly two-thirds of speech-watchers said they had at least a somewhat positive reaction to Trump’s speech, with a smaller 38% offering a very positive response. Trump’s speech seemed to rally some who watched it. While the economic numbers are identical to his ratings after last year’s speech, Trump’s numbers on immigration represent an erosion to first-term levels, when the issue stood as one of his most significant political liabilities. In a CNN poll of the American public conducted in the days prior to the address, Trump’s approval rating stood at 36%.
